Elizabeth was raised in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. As a child, her Grandmothers would help her identify various wild flowers at their cabin above Oakley, Utah. This is where her love of flowers began. "I still have the book where I pressed and catagorized wild flowers that my paternal Grandmother helped me with."
